West Ham fans react to news of Hernandez’s potential departure

West Ham United supporters have taken to Twitter to react to claims made by Javier Hernandez’s agent, stating that the Mexican forward would be willing to depart the London Stadium in the January transfer window.

The 29-year-old signed from Bayer Leverkusen for a fee of £16million in the summer transfer window, but the former Manchester United striker has failed to fulfil the expectations that were placed on him following his highly-anticipated move to the Hammers.

In 21 games for the Irons, Hernandez has only scored five goals, an average worse than a goal every four appearances. The Mexican’s performances have been so uninspiring that David Moyes has opted to utilise Marko Arnautovic as a striker as opposed to deploying a recognised centre-forward.

Wow, that's really a waste of time and move for Javier Hernandez to play for West Ham United. After 6 months at the club, he's leaving?! I feel like West Ham United pressured Bayer Leverkusen into selling him.

I am not sure whether this is a popular opinion or not but I would happily swap Jonjo Shelvey for Javier Hernandez. Both players are in need of a fresh start. Maybe Rafa Benitez could find a replacement for Shelvey in the same way he found Mikel Merino? #NUFC#WHUFC
